J.j. Pizzuto's Fabric Science: Swatch Kit

This book is intended as a handy reference for students taking patternmaking or fashion design courses and will be organized by procedure, rather than garment, with each procedure tabbed for easy reference. This organizational approach allows students to quickly access information about specific patternmaking procedures like dart manipulation or adding fullness when they are at that point of their design. The book also includes chapters explaining the role of the patternmaker within the fashion industry and how manual patternmaking skills translate to various CAD systems, including Lectra and Gerber. Features: -- Learning objectives, chapter glossaries, practice exercises in each chapter -- Fashion illustrations of complete garments -- Concise, step-by-step instructions -- Tabbed by topic for easy "Go-to" reference -- CD-ROM with animated drawings and practice exercises using cost and spec sheets -- Instructor's Guide provides suggestions for planning the course and using the text in the classroom
